Scottish Football Podcast - The Pocognoli Report Card

Scotland's honeymoon period under Sebastian Pocognoli has hit its first bump after a 3-0 defeat to Switzerland at Hampden. How much damage did Jack Hendry's early red card do, and should the result be judged in that context?

David Currie, Rory Loy and Stephen McGowan assess whether Scotland's problems are deeper than one difficult night, with concerns over goals, clean sheets and key players finding form?
